The course is intended to provide learners with basic understanding of what the Frame Creation Model is and its implementation in designing solutions for sustainable cities and solving urban challenges.
During the course, the learners will be able to explore different elements of frame creation, work on different case studies and to apply the obtained knowledge and apply the Frame Creation Model within their own project. Topics covered in the course are:
Characteristics of complex problems
Approaching a complex problem with Frame Creation Model
Solving case studies with the Frame Creation Model connected with environmental and cultural heritage aspects in cities
Applying the Frame Creation Model in Studio projects (case study Prilep).
The participants will have opportunity to explore new approach in solving open and complex everyday problems, by using the Frame Creation Model.
This good practice is beneficial for students because it offers methodology and transferrable skills that can be used in many different work and life situations, after the course is completed.

The course is focused on the best practice of green building and smart technologies represented by Open Garden and Brno City.
“Best in Class”—that’s how smart technology experts describe the Open Garden Education and Advisory Centre. Built and managed by the Czech Environmental Partnership Foundation (Nadace Partnerství), both buildings on the premises (the new "C" Building and the reconstructed "B" Building) showcase high-quality insulation and smart technologies and are among the most energy- efficient office spaces in the Czech Republic. The Open Garden and its buildings save not only water and energy, but also employ efficient recycling methods, reducing the overall impact on the environment. The positive side benefit is that the technological solutions used for construction save a surprising amount in operating costs. It was simply a smart investment. We believe that good examples can lead to smarter cities and buildings. Our hope is that the Open Garden inspires more smart technology buildings.
In the second part of the course, the current situation in Brno City and the tools how to make city development more sustainable and climate changes adaptable will be presented. All year round cities can undergo a transformation to pleasant places for living. The green-blue infrastructure issue is very important in cities. On the one hand, there is a huge demand for this infrastructure elements, but on the other hand, there is often a problem with placing them, especially in the city centres. The economic view is important as well.
The course participants will have an opportunity to explore new smart technologies and learn how cities can use these technologies or green-blue infrastructure to fight the urban heat island and to make the environment better for citizens and tourists.
